Pick any two...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Honestly, I would love it if anyone could make the decision at all. Usually it's "I want all three".
Yep, managers seem to think the triangle can be overcome with enough money/prowess/brute force.
While we are currently able to build self-healing systems of a sort, fault-tolerant Erlang systems being a good example, it doesn't seem we can build systems that are truly antifragile on their own, that would require strong AI. Otherwise, humans monitoring and intervention are required to improve systems under duress.
This manifesto does include "team" and "organization" to account for that, but a true autonomous antifragile system is a ways off.
Antifragile refers to a property in which a system does not just resist breaking down under disorder and stressors (robust), but gains/learns/becomes stronger. A good example is how bones heal back stronger where they were broken.
